A short while ago I noticed Firefox's memory use is mainly increasing due to sites with certain Java Script, once you disable JS the memory use remains stable.
For which there is no valid reason.
British National Health is a huge organisation that can easily implement their own nation-wide 'cloud' service thereby setting their own privacy and security standards without relying on outsiders, esp. leaks like the US 'Privacy Shield'.
You said it, "the allegedly heavy KDE".
Of all full DE's KDE is the lightest, a KDE distro like Neon only installs the bare necessities which makes it even lighter than the Kubuntu it is based on.
I'm running it on a 6 years old i5 with 4GB RAM and it's great.
Uhh?
As others have said and other countries have implemented it, net neutrality can be described in a single paragraph.
It's the breaking up that will cause a multitude of contractual variations between ISP's and especially dependent on how much you and small companies are willing to pay for access.
Yes it is consistent with the parties overall world view, either for the consumer or for the corporations.
There you go!.
It absolutely has bearing.
You buy a certain bandwidth and data amount, what you use it for is none of the ISP's business, THAT is net neutrality.
EC does very little to avoid such, they still can only vote for 1 or 2 candidates.
Democracies don't put nearly all power in one function like the US president, but has a parliament with representatives from all over the country that is the legislative.
The actual government should have only one task, to enact the laws passed by that parliament.
An independent legal system should oversee the parliament and government for following the laws of the land.
That's not what I claimed.
The moment you would start using a phone not complying with local law they can based on it's IMEI lock it out of the network.
You got it, it has nothing to do with frequencies and that's what I said, in this particular case it is the way they are used yet that particular law was (ab)used.
I know these days there are hardly any short wave radios sold anywhere but yes, in Germany they have limited frequencies.
Hell, even simple FM receivers are not allowed to be sold with Japanese frequencies (below 87 MHz).
Just to cool you down, France and Saudi Arabia have similar laws.
Which is already (since the Hitler years) illegal.
The Nazi's wrote in law the use of radio waves has to be approved, not only on the transmitter side but also on the receiving end.
Like in Germany you can only buy short wave radios with approved frequencies, on the other side of the border these same radios can receive anything.
The recent banning of child toys with WIFI capabilities was based on this Nazi law, not because of the frequencies used but based on what the radio waves were used for.
You are full of it.
Any one remotely interested in security and especially privacy can in Firefox switch off the various transmissions, try that in Edge or Chrome...
You have a problem, here on Kubuntu FF57 uses between 650 and 820 MB of ram and that's with some 60 tabs...
Only when I go to sites full of Java Script like the Google search ram usage gets out of hand.
Hey AC, it looks like you hit the nail on the head.
When I browse with JS disabled the memory stays fixed, with JS enabled it increases.
Regretfully a lot of sites just don't work without JS...
Except for the first hour after the 56-57 upgrade I never see FF crashes and I visit all kinds of sites.
Give it a try, search for say your favourite car, then take the google picture option and clicking on a picture will open it in a separate tab.
Closing this tab will not free any memory but will eventually slow down all other interactions with the browser.
Indeed,
I had hoped this new version would fix the memory issues but they seem even worse,
When I go to a photo site, say the Nasa Astronomy Picture of the Day, and right click to download a bunch of the photos the system gets already slow after some 20-30 pictures.
Note this is after closing each individual tab/picture, the memory consumption just keeps creeping up..
This is with a 4-core/ 8 threads i& and 8GB ram, the only working reset is to stop Firefox and restart it.
But all together I still find it the best browser.
I updated and it works.
The for me important plug-ins also work, Tree Style tabs, uBlock origine, the video downloadhelper, Ghostery and the JavaScrypt toggle.
Albeit Tree Style tabs still need a tweak to hide the old tabs, it should be done in a couple of days.

Don't forget the 8 prototypes of a border wall and the trick to have it paid by another nation!

True, especially for a laptop they are still very useful.

That's the difference between a dead (dying) language and a living one.
Living languages evolve, thanks to the Académy French has stopped doing so.
The big question is why the hell do they bother to detect nudes?
I would even ask why the hell do they want to spot pornography?
Both are very common human expressions and they should not be a reason for police investigation.
That's not what I claimed.

Technically you are correct, politically you are so far out it's getting funny.

Seven year old Thinkpad here, loading the NYT site (for the first time ever) takes a good second.

Ahh, that IE6 has been and is for many stupid applications the only allowed browser, yes even now.

Then where did IE6, 7. 8 etc come from?
Who is short sighted...

Strange, FF never or hardly ever crashed on me but the first hour after I upgraded it has crashed two times, the next two hours it behaves well...
